As Fiori applications cannot be accessed in all customer systems BW add-on provides means to display some of data using SAP NetWeaver. Following data can be accessed usin SAP NetWeaver:

  • Progression logs of BW add-on collectors (satellite system)
  • Data Distribution analysis results
  • Other analysis results

In following sections each data access is described in more detail.

Progression loggin 

As BW add-on collectors can run for multiple hours user can see current progress of collector by runing transaction SLG1 on satellite system where collector is currently running. In transaction provide following input parameters:

  • Object - /DVD/HS
  • Subobject - *
  • External ID - *

After pressing execute button (F8) logs of BW add-on collectors should be displayed. 

Important

As result of SAP logging mechanizm it is possible that log will not be displayed if user tries to access it at the time running process is writing records to it. In such case it is recommended to try to display logs few times to overcome this issue.

Following is example of Data Distribution collector processing log.

Data distribution analysis result access

User can access already analyzed data by Data Distribution analysis from SAP NetWeaver by running program '/DVD/HS_CENTRAL_VIEWER' in SE38 transaction of the central system (see section /wiki/spaces/ITOA/pages/14700282 for how to execute data distribution analysi).

  1. After execution of the '/DVD/HS_CENTRAL_VIEWER' program following screen is displayed.
  2. Click on  button.
  3. Fill out System ID and Data Distribution ID in displayed dialog window.
  4. Data distribution analysis results will be displayed in ALV table in same format as in Fiori (If they are available for the system).

Other analysis result access

User can access other BW add-on analysis results using program '/DVD/HS_CENTRAL_ANA_VIEWER' through SE38 transaction on central system. Currently following analyses are capable to display their results in SAP NetWeaver:

  •  Query runtime analysis

To display analysis result on central system follow these steps:

  1. Execute '/DVD/HS_CENTRAL_ANA_VIEWER' program through transaction SE38. Following screen will be displayed.
  2. Click on  toolbar button.
  3. Select system (source satellite system of analysis ) and analysis type that you would like to display and confirm selection. 
  4. Appropriate analysis result will be displayed in ALV table on main screen.
